Chapter 590 Asking for a Monthly Ticket at the Beginning of an Era
"Gazzetta dello Sport" was the first Italian media to pay attention to Sporting Gijon and Li Ang, and as the famous columnist of "Gazzetta dello Sport" Di Gennaro, it can be said that he was the first person in the Italian media to pay attention to Li Ang.
He had previously analyzed Sporting Gijon's tactics in his column and was full of praise for Leon. As a famous Inter Milan supporter, Di Gennaro had a good personal relationship with Inter Milan boss Moratti. Moratti
Moratti often paid attention to Di Gennaro's articles. It can be said that at first, Leon gradually attracted Moratti's interest, which was inseparable from Di Gennaro's frequent praise of Leon.
At Malpensa Airport, the four giants from Inter Milan picked up Leon, which shocked many people.
After Di Gennaro witnessed the scene at the airport, he followed many reporters and drove to Inter Milan's Pinenati training base.
Inter Milan has announced that it will hold a press conference in two hours to announce important information.
When things have reached this point, almost everyone can guess what Inter Milan is going to announce: the Nerazzurri are going to sign a contract with Li Ang!
This young Chinese coach will be the new head coach of Inter Milan, the traditional giant of Serie A!
The entire Milan, and even the entire Italian media, are busy!
Hope this is the right move, Di Gennaro prays for Inter Milan.
***********
Half an hour before the afternoon press conference started, the parking lot in Pinenati was already filled with special cars from media from all over the Apennine Peninsula, and even...media from other countries.
In addition to the well-known Italian media "Gazzetta dello Sport", "Gazzetta dello Sport" and "Gazzetta dello Sport", there are also media from Spain, France, England, Portugal and, of course, Chinese media.
Di Gennaro is used to seeing big scenes. He has followed and reported on Inter Milan for many years, and he has to admit that this formation is really amazing. I am afraid that in the history of Italian football, the appointment of a head coach has never caused such a big sensation.
On the one hand, it’s because Inter Milan is an Italian giant, and on the other hand, it’s because Li Ang is now well-known as a new Triple Crown coach. In particular, he led the newly promoted Sporting Gijon to seize food from Real Madrid and Barcelona, creating the first team in the history of La Liga.
The miracle of the newly promoted team winning the championship made the Italians, who consider themselves the 'Little World Cup', very curious and very interested in Li Ang.
Of course, Li Ang's Chinese identity has also attracted major attention.
Although it is already 2005, Europe still doesn’t know much about China, and its impression of Chinese football is even less. The only impression is of the Chinese national football team that swallowed nine eggs in the World Cup in South Korea and Japan. They can’t imagine it.
, such a football desert has actually produced such a young and promising coach.
Because of curiosity and lack of understanding, I was even more surprised by Li Ang's success, so the attention was unprecedented.
***********
Duan Xuan took his own film team to shoot at the gate of Pinenati, with busy people coming in and out from around them, and various photography and video equipment being moved in.
Sky TV’s broadcast truck is also here!
Duan Xuan was secretly shocked, surprised by the sensation caused by Li Ang, and at the same time, he was proud deep in his heart!
Now, when people mention Chinese football, their first impression will no longer be the shameful first experience of the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, but the European champion coach Li Ang!
Inter Milan's conference center was originally quite spacious, but now it is packed with people. Reporters are discussing it enthusiastically, and the topic naturally revolves around Inter Milan's new head coach.
After filming the grand scene at the door, the CCTV camera team also filmed the crowd in the conference room. Then, the camera focused on the front of the stage. The row of tables that were already filled with microphones and recorders was still empty.
Everything is ready, waiting for the protagonist to appear.
***********
While reporters were waiting, in a luxurious office in Pinenati, Li Ang also had a formal exchange with Inter Milan's senior management.
Inter Milan president Giacinto Facchetti is one of the most well-known defenders in Italy. This gentleman spent his entire playing career at Inter Milan. Although he plays a defender on the court, he has high offensive power. In his
Participating in 634 games, Giacinto Facchetti scored 75 goals and led Inter Milan to win a total of four Serie A championships in 1963, 1965, 1966, and 1971; and won the Serie A championship in 1964 and 1965.
Two-time European Champions Cup champion and Intercontinental Cup champion. This man can be said to have witnessed and contributed to Inter Milan's "Great International Era". Of course, his resume in the national team also shines, as Italy won the 1968 European Cup.
of merit.
After retiring, Facchetti remained at Inter Milan and held management positions for a long time. He served as technical director, board member, world ambassador and vice president. In early 2004, Moratti was criticized and became disheartened.
The position of president of Inter Milan was given to Facchetti. This veteran of Inter Milan worked hard and was determined to recreate the glory of the Inter Milan era.
Facchetti gave Li Ang the impression of an energetic old man who spoke well and always recalled the glory of Inter Milan in his words. It was the most prosperous era of Facchetti and Inter Milan.
As for Inter Milan general manager Oriari, he is well-spoken and personable, and his attitude towards Li Ang is quite good. He expressed his hope to cooperate sincerely with Li Ang.
The impression that Inter Milan technical director Blanca gave Li Ang was that he was smiling but not smiling. Li Ang could feel the alienation behind Blanca's seeming enthusiasm. He knew that Blanca was definitely wary of him and unwelcoming people. After all, Li Ang
The demand for absolute say in the team's construction has greatly impacted Blanca, who had already begun to control the transfer power. It is surprising that he has a good impression of Li Ang.
***********
Moratti has a smile on his face. He is a pure fan-owner. His love for Inter Milan is admirable. He dreams of recreating the glory of the 'Great Inter Milan Era'. Every time a new coach takes over,
Moratti has great confidence in him and provides full assistance. It can be said that he has suffered repeated defeats. Maybe the setbacks in these years have hurt Moratti, but every time, he will force himself to be full of fighting spirit.
Once again on the road, Moratti will not give up until he sees the day when Inter Milan dominates Europe.
Li Ang and Moratti talked happily. The two did not exchange much about the current Inter Milan. Instead, they talked about the transfer market and some interesting things in football.
At this time, Oriali reminded that the time was almost up.
"Let's go, those people below should be waiting impatiently. I hope this is an important moment in the history of Inter Milan!" Moratti couldn't wait any longer. He looked even more anxious than Li Ang. He expressed high expectations for Li Ang in his words.
"This is the beginning of a new era." Li Ang said without being modest.
Facchetti glanced at Leon, but he didn't expect this man to be so confident. Oriali glanced at Leon with interest, while Blanca smiled, but in his heart he was saying that he was not ashamed, and he wished that Leon would bring him with him.
If there is a problem with the team's performance, then he can legitimately take back his transfer rights.
Moratti, on the other hand, was both surprised and satisfied with Li Ang's sharpness. He believed that Inter Milan currently lacked this confidence and vitality, which was also a factor in his choice of Li Ang.
***********
When Moratti and the four giants of Inter Milan appeared at the press conference surrounded by Li Ang, the reporters all fell silent. Apart from the sound of machines working, there was no other human voice.
"Perhaps many people here have guessed the correct answer. Today I want to announce an important thing!" Inter Milan Club General Manager Oriari said into the microphone while looking at the reporters in the dark audience.
"We are very happy to have reached an agreement with the same championship coach. We are honored to invite coach Li Ang to coach Inter Milan. From now on, Inter Milan has entered the Li Ang era!"
Although I already knew the theme of today's press conference, when the news was announced, it still caused a huge response: the first Chinese coach in the history of Italian football appeared!
With a "boom", there was a huge noise from the packed crowd.
Countless reporters raised their hands. They had too many questions to ask.
"Please be quiet, there will be free time for questions later," Oriali said.
Subsequently, Facchetti signed two copies of the contract on behalf of Inter Milan.
Then, the president of Inter Milan pushed the contract to Li Ang.
***********
Li Ang was just going to get the signature pen on the table. Moratti, who had been smiling and saying nothing, took out a pen from his body and handed it over, "Use this pen."
There was obviously another uproar. Everyone knew the origin of that pen. It was the signature pen Moratti used when he bought back Inter Milan from Pellegrini in the 1990s. This pen was very important to Moratti.
For Ti, it has great commemorative significance.
Moratti Sr. sold Inter Milan to Pellegrini. Thirty years after Moratti Sr. left Inter Milan, Inter Milan's old enemy AC Milan entered its heyday, and Inter Milan fans could only look away with hatred.
Looking at AC Milan's invincibility. They are looking forward to the return of the Moratti family, which once created Inter Milan's glorious record. In the early 1990s, "We want Massimo" and "Hurry up Massimo" often appeared at the San Siro Stadium.
Banner.
The memory of his father and his love for Inter Milan prompted Massimo to make up his mind to acquire the Inter Milan club. When he negotiated the acquisition with the club's former chairman Pellegrini, there was no counteroffer. It was said that the money was as high as six or seven hundred.
Billion lire (approximately US$38 million to US$45 million). Moratti, sitting at Inter Milan's headquarters on Durini Street, said: "The Moratti family has a special connection with Inter Milan. It is our responsibility to revive Inter Milan."
Pellegrini, who won the Serie A title in the 1990-1991 season, held Moratti's hand tightly when he was dying and said: "I leave Inter Milan to you. No one reassures me more than the Moratti family."
Already."
Under the complicated and shocked eyes of dozens of reporters at the scene, Li Ang took the pen from Moratti's hand, then lowered his head and signed his name on the contract.
Then, the Big Four and Li Ang all stood up.
"Welcome to Inter Milan!" Inter Milan President Facchetti shook hands with Li Ang.
"It's my honor to coach such a great team!" Li Ang said politely. The young Chinese coach looked confident and high-spirited.
Click, click, click!
A great flash show at the scene.
From this moment on, this century-old wealthy family officially enters the Leon era!
A great era has begun.
